Pokemon Black And White 2 Details -- New Towns, Characters

Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 will feature new characters and maps. In the beginning you'll be able to chose to play as a male or female trainer, both of which are brand new! Naturally, your rival will be a new character as well. Akuroma has been announced as the "Pokemon Expert," but it's not clear if he will serve as Prof. Oak or Bill.
Two gym leaders have been revealed as well. Their names are Homika and Shizui. I think it's safe to say their name will be changed when the game is released in America.
